What to Wear Under Swimwear: The Butt-Chique Guide to Seamless Confidence
When it comes to swimwear, what’s underneath matters just as much as the suit itself. The right inner layer can smooth, support, and boost your confidence — while the wrong one can ruin the entire look. At Butt-Chique, we believe your swim moments should feel as flawless as they look. Here’s your ultimate guide to what to wear under swimwear.
1. Usually, Nothing Is the Best Option
Most modern swimwear is designed to be worn on its own. Quality swimsuits come with built-in linings and support that eliminate the need for regular underwear. Wearing cotton panties or everyday bras underneath can:
- Show visible lines
- Hold water and feel heavy
- Create bunching or discomfort
But there are smart exceptions where inner layers can elevate your swim game.
2. Silicone Pasties for Sheer or Light-Colored Swimwear
If your swimsuit is light, thin, or slightly sheer when wet, nipple coverage becomes important.
Why Butt-Chique Silicone Pasties work:
- Smooth, invisible finish
- Waterproof and sweat-resistant
- No awkward show-through in pool or beach photos
- Reusable and skin-friendly
They’re your secret weapon for confident, worry-free beach days.
3. Double-Sided Body Tape for Tricky Necklines
Planning to wear a deep-cut monokini, plunging neckline, or side-boob style? Body tape is your best friend.
Use it when:
- Your swimsuit shifts while moving
- You want extra cleavage control
- You need to secure straps or edges
Butt-Chique Double-Sided Body Tape keeps everything exactly where it should be — even after a swim and sun session.
4. Seamless Thongs (Only If Absolutely Needed)
In rare cases — like very thin crochet or loosely lined swimwear — a seamless thong can help. If you do choose one:
- Pick quick-dry, microfiber fabric
- Ensure laser-cut edges
- Match your skin tone
Avoid cotton at all costs. It stays wet and becomes uncomfortable quickly.
5. When to Consider Shapewear (Resort Looks Only)
Important: Never wear heavy shapewear in the water. However, if you’re styling your swimsuit as a bodysuit for a pool party or resort dinner, light shapewear can enhance your silhouette.
Butt-Chique waist trainers or seamless shapers work beautifully only for dry styling moments, not swimming
